New Benefice

The joining of the parish of Aston with the benefice of Bramfield Stapleford, Waterford and Watton at Stone in the diocese of St Albans (now informally known as the Beane Valley Benefice) was celebrated in a packed All Saints-tide service led by the new Archdeacon of Hertford the Revd Janet Mackenzie followed by cake and bubbly.

The  Revd Jenny Gray, (formerly Priest-in-Charge of Aston St Mary’s)  is the Rector  of the new benefice.
